Fire chief ‘still can’t sleep’ after the Grenfell disaster, bravely admitting she is receiving counselling

A  FIRE chief is having counselling over the Grenfell Tower fire.

London Fire Brigade Commissioner Dany Cotton said she could not sleep at night three months after the disaster.

She said: “Like a lot of people, there’s a lot going on in my mind. The effects of that night will stay with me forever.

“I’m not making any bones about the fact that I’m having counselling.”

Dany, 48, who was with her crews as the tower burned, says they could have done nothing more to save lives.

Meanwhile, a one-year immigration amnesty offered to illegal foreign nationals affected by the Grenfell Tower fire has been extended by three months, the Home Office has said.

Survivors of the June 14 inferno who were living in the country illegally were given a window of protection from deportation to encourage them to come forward to authorities.

It was due to close to new cases on Thursday but the Home Office confirmed the deadline has been extended until November 30.

Immigration minister Brandon Lewis said: “The welfare of survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire is a priority for this government.
